Stepping Stones

The challenge of living life after a stroke can feel very daunting in those early days, so Think Ahead Stroke has created a step-by-step stroke information and recovery programme.

Stepping Stones for Stroke breaks down loads of useful information into manageable chunks, so that each week you can learn that little bit more either from expert professionals or those with a shared personal experience.

The programme is free to access for all stroke survivors and their carers, lasts seven weeks, and includes six, two-hourly learning sessions plus an evaluation and small ‘graduation’ celebration at the end.

The small group sessions cover topics that include:

Building confidence and independence

Healthy living

Communication

Accessing local services

Mobility

Support for carers

Our objective is that by the end of the programme everyone feels better equipped to face each day and more confident to lead healthier and happier lives.

A stroke is an attack on the brain and takes place when the blood supply is disrupted, either by a blockage or a burst.
In the UK, a stroke occurs approximately every three minutes and 27 seconds. 1 in 4 strokes are fatal within a year, making stroke one of the leading causes of death for both men and women.
